Mrs Annabelle Schatteman

Jungian Analyst

Verified

“As a Jungian therapist and artist, I offer you a safe and welcoming space in my studio and therapy practice on the coast of Scheveningen, where we can explore together where you currently stand and which challenges you are facing. My practice, Bloom Therapy, was born from the idea that every person has the potential to flourish, yet we are sometimes held back by unconscious blockages, old pain, or expectations from our environment. When you gain insight into the unconscious processes that guide you, space, clarity, and growth emerge. ”

About Me

I am Annabelle Schatteman, a Jung inspired therapist graduated from the Jungian Institute in Nijmegen, now called academy of Depth psychology. I am also a visual artist, a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a friend. I have my art studio in Scheveningen, in the cultural breeding ground called See Lab. This is also where the therapeutic sessions take place. Living far from home… In 2009, after living in China for 7 years, I moved to The Hague with my family. Living in a country that is not one’s homeland is not easy. I know the difficulties that come with it very well. I have come to realise that finding home does not depend on geographical location, but on one’s relation to oneself. Finding the right balance requires doing some inner work, growing some roots, and finding out who you are deep down. As a therapist I offer to help you in that process. Finding oneself after motherhood… As mothers who have seen our beloved children grow, we are sometimes left with a feeling of emptiness in seeing them leave. Who are we to become once they no longer need us as they used to? I have been the mother of three beautiful children and have myself been confronted with the need of moving forward. Delving into the past and recovering our old sense of self can be very helpful in the process of moving forward. Therapy is helpful in doing that.

Approach

As a Jungian therapist and artist, I offer a safe, welcoming space in my studio and therapy practice on the coast of Scheveningen, where we can explore together where you are in your life and the challenges you are facing. Bloom Therapy was founded on the belief that every person has the innate capacity to grow and flourish. At times, however, unconscious patterns, unresolved emotional wounds, or the expectations of others can prevent us from living fully. By bringing awareness to the unconscious forces that shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, new possibilities for clarity, healing, and personal growth begin to emerge. As Carl Jung beautifully wrote: "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." In addition to therapeutic conversation, I work with Jungian methods such as dream analysis, active imagination, and creative expression. These approaches invite you into a deeper relationship with your unconscious, allowing insights and lasting transformation to unfold naturally. Together, we will explore both the conscious and unconscious dimensions of your inner life, helping you cultivate greater balance, authenticity, freedom, and a deeper sense of inner flourishing.

Services

My expertise lies in shadow work, offering analysis and gentle yet clear guidance. I am a grounded, clear-minded, and empathic person. Through careful and attentive listening, I quickly sense where you feel stuck in life, which unconscious patterns you tend to repeat, and where you may be blocking your own growth. I guide you as you walk the often painful path through the inner landscape of your shadows. I sometimes describe my role as similar to Dante’s guides during his descent into hell in The Divine Comedy: accompanying you safely through darkness so that transformation can become possible. I always work at your pace, while remaining attentive to moments where clarity and decisiveness may be needed. As one of my clients beautifully wrote: “I definitely recommend Annabelle for her soft yet incisive mode of inquiry, her kind and compassionate nature, and her good sense of humour.” No feeling is strange or wrong. Every emotion is human and deserves to be heard. In therapy, I offer a safe and open space where you can express, encounter, and fully feel whatever arises — whether it is grief, hopelessness, fear, anger, guilt, or darkness.
